• I Know What Your Password Was Last Summer

  Something to add to their list of common passwords is the What3Words database of locations https://what3words.com It's something like 50trillion sets of looks-random strings. That's quite a lot, but if the list could be narrowed very significantly to get some likely results by selecting locations in: 1) cities where a company is physically located 2) large capital & global cities 3) significant landmarks I see... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Unique Challenges of Geocoding in India

  I assume this is the problem that https://what3words.com/ is trying to solve. But I guess it being in English makes it a less good solution. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Planning and Crash Prevention

  Crashing in a Metro Park follows very similar recommendations as to what’s above. However, accurately describing your location along our Metro Parks Greenway trails and systems can often be tricky! And just for that reason, the parks department uses the app What3Words to help people share their exact location with emergency responders. Whether you’ve crashed or come across someone who needs aid for any reason,... Source: 9 months ago

• How Many EV Charging Stations Does the US Need to Replace Gas Stations?

  The above poster said it would take hours each charge of a few hundred km. You're acknowledging it only takes 31 minutes for a few hundred km charge but you're saying that's worse? Here's a similar route in an ID.3. https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=13a0bcb2-9052-405f-ac27-9b8d38bd01fe Average charging wait time on this trip is a bit under 22min. For almost 12 hours of driving it... - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Tesla Model Y: My 6 months impressions

  It's actually a 915km trip ending up in the French Alps during winter time, so it's more taxing on the battery, and I need some juice left on arrival (30%) You can test it out yourself on ABRP [0]. My trip goes from Lier, Belgium to Les Saisies, France. With "quickest arrival" setting, ABRP does 4 stops with a total charging time of 1h25min (and 8h29 driving). The stops are 28, 18, 18 and 22 minutes respectively.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• What Happened to EVs?

  Https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=f10ce8fe-c1b7-4ade-9c5e-bc564189a799 22h of driving, of which 2h38m for rest&charging Seems totally reasonable to me. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Tesla Model Y range estimate reduced by 6%, becoming more realistic

  > With ICE I don't have to worry about any of that. You don't do that with EVs that nav takes all of that into account. The only valid issue are the poorly maintained Electrify America chargers on non Tesla EV's. But that about to change in the U.S. Since pretty much everyone is adopting NACS/SAE J340 Standard. Which will make them compatible with Tesla Superchargers. Apps like ABRP also exist that is compatible... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• What Happened to EVs?

  There is a general drought of Tesla SCs in Queensland / NE Australia, so ABRP can't find a suitable route only using the SC network. Otherwise a scenario for the Lucid Air Dream Edition has it charging 6 times for a total of 4h12m (in "great" conditions, though): https://abetterrouteplanner.com/?plan_uuid=c34a381b-83fc-4bd5-a6d9-2dd86fffc60c. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
